Once upon a time, @LusiaLangi had an ideal school where she wanted to play volleyball.
Big brand & winning program.
Lusia made multiple visits & balled out at their camp.
But it felt off.
The culture portrayed on social media didn’t feel the same in real life, it more business-like than family, & there was a disconnect between staff & players.
It was tough learning that her childhood ideal school was not the right cultural fit for her as a young adult entering real life.
We found the right cultural fit with Coach Camilla Hafoka at Utah Tech University.
Camilla was someone I could trust to be an extension of myself, she had a roster full of like-minded athletes, I believed in her vision in developing Lusia, & she fosters a family environment.
Lusia was Freshman All-Conference in Year 1, Utah Tech won conference in Year 2, & Lusia couldn’t be happier entering Year 3.
The ideal school? Their head coach left the program & the best players transferred out.
I’m thankful we had the courage to trust the “off feeling” we had & chased what truly matters instead of learning the hard way.
James 4:11-12
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Getting started in multifamily real estate investing isn’t nearly as challenging as it seems.
People overthink multifamily. They wait for the perfect deal or for when they "understand the market better." Meanwhile, other operators are quietly picking up off-market units and PRINTING cash.
Here's where I'd begin if I was starting from zero:
1. Find who's operating multifamily in your area and get their offering memorandums. These are the OMs (the inside look at how deals are actually performing.)
2. Look for smaller, off-market multifamily. You're not competing with institutional money. You're finding the 4–10 unit stuff that nobody's fighting over.
3. Do a real market analysis. What's the unit renting for? What's the identical building across the street getting? That gap IS your deal.

Everyone wants to point at creative finance and scream "IT'S RISKY!" 🗣️
Most people ask... "What if you stop making the payment?" or they worry about partnership disputes, paperwork issues, and tenants not paying.
Same thing that happens in traditional real estate. You lose the property.
The "safety" of traditional financing isn't safety. It's a gatekeeper that keeps unqualified people out of the game.
And the reason you've never seen ethics content on your feed isn't because creators don't make it. It's because you don't watch it. The algorithm feeds you what you click.
Creative finance isn't risky. Uneducated investors are.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.
The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.
The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.
The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.
The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.
The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.
The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.
Now it is today.
Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.
He is confident.
He has always been confident.
The confidence has never been the problem.
The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.
Everyone thinks banks make deals safer and they're WRONG!
Chad had a bad partner. Payments fell apart.
If that was a traditional loan? His credit would be destroyed and he could say GOODBYE to future deals.
But with creative finance…
No bank.
No credit hit.
No permanent damage.
They just reworked the deal and kept it moving.
That’s the power of non-recourse.
Creative finance is what protects you when things go wrong.

This Easter Sunday, all Christians, brothers and sisters in the Lord, honor and celebrate the Resurrection of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. His Resurrection and His Atonement are the most powerful, far-reaching, and sacred events in all human history.
After three days in a borrowed tomb, Jesus Christ broke the bands of death imposed by the Fall. With His Resurrection, He secured salvation from physical death for us, all of God’s children throughout the ages.
When Mary and other faithful women approached the garden tomb to care for the body of their Lord, they found two angels who announced, “He is not here, but is risen” (Luke 24:5–6).
Those glorious words, “He is risen” have sparked religious ceremony, gratitude, faith in Jesus Christ, and His promises for centuries.
May we feel to our very souls these stirring words, “He is risen! He is risen! Tell it out with joyful voice” and “Let the whole wide earth rejoice.”

Spoke to a fellow Tongan who paid $4,000 to a recruiting service.
I looked at his son's tape, shared his strengths, weaknesses, projected college position, & which schools to focus on.
Asked him why didn't he reach out to me first & he said, "Pride.”
Pride sure is expensive.
Powerful message from @AggieFootball wide receiver KC Concepcion about negativity he received about his speech impediment after #NFLCombine2026 interview @KPRC2
13 standouts from offensive line workouts at the combine from a #Patriots perspective. An area of focus for the Pats to protect the franchise (Drake Maye).
+Three Moses successors, all the early-round LG options, day-three sleepers at T/G.
